Entering HTML Web Server Information

Note: For Release 9.2 the current terminology and that used in this guide is to refer to the machine running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Java Application Server (JAS) as the HTML Web Server. Functionally, these terms are all synonymous. However, this guide only uses the terms JAS or Java Server when explicitly labeled as such by the software.
Caution: The HTML Web Server is mandatory for the majority of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications because the end-user applications are only accessible through a web interface.

To enter HTML Web Server information:

    Field

    Description

    Machine Usage

    The default value of 30 indicates that this is a HTML Web Server.

    Machine Name

    Enter the name of your HTML Web Server. The name is case sensitive, should not exceed 15 characters, and should not contain any special characters.

    Description

    Enter a description of the HTML Web Server machine.

    Release

    Enter E920 to indicate the release number that you are installing.

    Host Type

    The default value of 50 specifies the server type as Intel NT. Select the correct server type.

    Location

    The location chosen for this plan appears in this field by default.

    Primary User

    The user to whom an email is sent when a package is deployed. The default for Primary User is listed in the JDE.INI.

  3. On the HTML tab, complete these fields:

    Field

    Description

    Primary HTML Server

    When the system code generates an email message with a web shortcut pointing to a form, the web shortcut generated points to the "Primary" HTML Web Server. Only one of all the HTML Web Servers defined in installation planner can be defined as primary ("1").

    Protocol

    This is the protocol used by the HTML Web Server. Valid values are http or https.

    Server URL

    This is the Domain Name System (DNS) host name of the HTML Web Server.

    For example: www.oracle.com

    HTTP Port

    This is the port number the HTML Web Server is listening to.

    For HTTP, the typical port number is 80.

    For HTTPS, the typical port number is 443.

    Note: You can choose to implement a HTML Web Server using a different port number.

    JDENET Listen Port

    This is the port on which the JDENET communications protocol communicates with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server. The value is dependent on the release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

    For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Release 9.2, the value is 6017.

    Default Login

    Defines how shortcuts to a web form are generated by the system code. Values are either a reserved value or an explicit servlet name. Reserved values are:

    • Standard

      The URL generated will point to a servlet on the Primary HTML Web Server.

    • Redirector

      The URL generated will point to redirector in the Primary HTML Web Server, and redirector will point to a servlet on another HTML Web Server for load balancing. The servlet name to use is generated by the system.

    • Explicit Servlet Name

      The user can specify an explicit servlet name in this field. In this case, the redirector functionality cannot be used. The URL generated will point to the specified servlet in the Primary HTML Web Server.

      Usage of this value is for backward compatibility only. You should not use it unless you have a direct need.

    Installation Path

    Enter the installation directory path to which you are installing Release 9.2 on your HTML Web Server. Make sure this is specific to your version of the release, and also the platform and application server on which your HTML Web Server is running.

    For default paths, refer to the applicable platform- and application server-dependent version of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Web Server Reference Guide (JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transaction Server Reference Guide or JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transaction Server Reference Guide for Microsoft Windows using WebSphere or ). Otherwise, you must obtain this value from the HTML Web Server machine itself, or its administrator.

  4. Click the OK button.

  5. To add another HTML Web Server, click the Yes button and repeat steps 1 through 4 to define another HTML Web Server.
